[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1109533, member: 12508"] During the last UPS strike, I parked my CTV (feeder), went on lunch, grabbed a sign, and walked the picket line with my UPS brothers and sisters. Was FedEx pissed? You bet they were. We have a lot in common, and I felt the need to show my support. Here's the deal. UPS would be [B]much [/B]stronger with a unionized FedEx. Fred S is stealing major market share away from UPS with his FedEx Ground scam and has enjoyed a big advantage in the NDA market with the RLA at Express. In short, he is able to both undercut UPS and pay FedEx employees a pittance in comparison to UPS. Together, UPS and FedEx employees would be a formidable force. We either take a stand now against the Fred S's of the world, or stand idly by while Ground undercuts the strength of the Teamsters and weakens your negotiating position. A unionized FedEx Express would help thwart Smith's future expansion and start costing him some serious cash, money he is using to try and capture UPS business. It is in your best interest to organize as many of the FedEx opcos as possible. FedEx Freight is a real possibility, as they also realize how they've been getting hosed by Smith. In an era where union membership has fallen to the lowest levels since 1932 and unions are being attacked constantly by the Right Wing, it's high time that the trend be reversed. [/QUOTE]
